Ch 20

Months passed and today was the day that Bulma Briefs brought her second child into the world in her very own private room in a hospital in West City. Although it was taking longer than she hoped to become fully dilated, she couldn't help but take her frustration out on her son and Vegeta.

Vegeta watched as his son's reassurances to his mother were for nothing, and he could tell it was stressing Trunks out. "Son, perhaps you need a break."

"Are you sure you'll be—

"I'm not a stranger to your mother's mood swings. You better go before I change my mind. I'll let you know when it's time."

"Thanks father," said Trunks as he quickly left the hospital room.

In the hallway Trunks sighed as he sunk into one of the chairs in the waiting room. It had all happened so fast. He remembered his father waking him up with the news of his mom's water breaking, and they packed her things to go to the hospital. The car ride had been intense, especially since he had to drive with his parents in the backseat. He was impressed how his father handled his mother.

He had called the Son family as soon as he had arrived with his parents at the hospital. He knew they would be here soon and share in the excitement of a new baby coming into the world. It made Trunks smile, knowing there was life after the androids. It gave him hope that he could move on with his life.

"Trunks!" Trunks turned to see a smiling Goten and his family.

"How's Bulma doing?" asked Chichi.

"She was screaming up a storm before dad let me leave, so I'd say she wants the baby out right now."

"I remember those days well," said Chichi.

"Me to," said the Ox King as everyone laughed but Chichi.

"So, how are you doing?" asked Goten to Trunks.

"I'm kind of nervous actually," said Trunks. "It's funny to think I came in here with my parents, but we're leaving with a new family member."

"I have a feeling I'll know just what you mean," said Videl as she smiled at her pregnant belly and rubbed it.

"Trunks!" yelled Vegeta and that was Trunks' queue. He looked back at the Son family, receiving looks of encouragement. He couldn't wait to see his baby sister.

Bulma held a healthy baby girl in her arms. It was the splitting image of her mother, and her name was Bulla. She smiled down at her second child and then looked up to see Vegeta and her son, and she smiled.

"Would you like to hold your daughter, Vegeta?"

Vegeta came closer to Bulma's bedside and held out his arms to her. He took his daughter in his arms and looked down at her. She was so tiny but full of live like her mother. He smiled just thinking about how much of handful she would be, but he didn't care. He loved her and swore to himself he would always protect her.

Bulma smiled at the heartfelt scene. She never in her wildest dreams thought she'd ever see the saiyan Prince in such a tender moment. It made her emotional as she dried the tears from her eyes. Looking to her son, she smiled, knowing Trunks got the whole thing on video but he quickly put his phone away so he wouldn't get caught.

Trunks look proudly at the moment between his father and new baby sister. He wondered if his father had ever given him such a look when he was born, but he didn't want to go down that path. Today was Bulla's day and he wasn't going to ruin it with his own issues.

"Son?" Trunks came out of his thoughts to see his father looking at him. "I'm sure you want to hold your sister as well."

Trunks walked over to his father and held his arms open to receive his sister. Once Bulla was resting comfortably in Trunks' arms, he looked down at her, and their eyes met. She smiled at him, and he smiled back at her.

"Hey Bulla I'm your big brother Trunks. It's nice to finally meet you," he said as he noticed she was holding onto his finger with her tiny hand. "You have a lot of people here that care about you and will gladly lay their lives on the line for you because they love you," he said as he looked at his parents.

Bulma smiled, wiping the tears from her face once again. She was even more happy she got the moment recorded on her phone. "Oh Trunks that was beautiful," said Bulma.

"Well it is the truth after all," he smiled before he leaned in, kissed Bulla on the forehead, and handed her back to his mother.

"I know I haven't exactly been the most pleasant person during my pregnancy, but I'm grateful for all that you and your father have done for me."

"I think we're just glad that you and Bulla are doing all right," said Trunks.

Bulma looked down at the bundle in her arms. "You're a very lucky girl Bulla. You have two strong male role models to look up to. We love you and can't wait to take you home," she said as she kissed her baby as her eyes closed to sleep.

Trunks looked at the scene and thought of Goten. Just thinking of how Goten was brought into the world pained Trunks at this very moment, knowing he didn't have a loving mother in the beginning.
